Everyone in marketing is talking about digital transformation, but few are really doing it.
2021 is the year when genuine digital transformation is needed more than ever. Marketing teams in China currently operate in a state of chaos and chronic inefficiency.

We analysed 20 million data points to answer every marketers top questions.
Brands are demanding more data and China insights from their agencies. They don’t want to wait for a weekly or monthly update; they want to be able to check progress whenever they wish. Even if they can’t read Chinese, they still want to feel connected to their brand presence in China.
